Modi's investment claims fail to match reality
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In 2003, Modi announced the arrival of investments worth Rs 66,000 crore. Only Rs 18,000 crore of it came in.
Again in 2005, he announced investments worth Rs 1,07,000 crore. And only Rs 10,000 crore finally made it.
Ask the state government officials for a reality check, they deny a critique on camera.
"I will not go into the figures as such, but what we are aiming at is Gujarat should be known all over the world and that has been happening," said Bhagyesh Jha, MD, IndexTb, Government of Gujarat.

But Pioneer quotes the same guy as saying:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The first Vibrant Gujarat Summit (2003) had seen MoUs worth Rs 68,000 crore being signed. The second summit, in 2005, drew Rs 106,000 crore. These weren't empty promises. As Bhagyesh Jha, managing director, iNDEXTb, the Industrial Extension Bureau that is the business facilitation arm of the Gujarat government, stressed, 82.4 per cent of the 2003 investment announcements and 83.1 per cent of the 2005 proposals had been realised, and the projects were under implementation.
